Sounds good to me:

Speaking as if he were the president, Willink admitted that he made “critical errors” in underestimating the Taliban’s capabilities.He said the blame was on him alone.He admitted that the Americans and Afghan allies were stranded, but said they “will not be for long.” He spent most of the speech proving the steps he would take to rectify the problem.
“In the next 48 hours, America will be in control of most major airports in Afghanistan,” he said.”Any resistance we meet from the Taliban or otherwise—when we seize these airports—will be destroyed completely and without mercy.”He said gaining control of these airports will allow U.S. forces to conduct swift rescue missions throughout the country. “Any person who interferes with these operations will be killed,” he said. He also said he would order troops to either retake or destroy weapons and equipment left behind by fleeing Afghan troops.

Hopefully, they are aware of the rumored secure warehouse filled with (eyes only SAP ultra top) secret equipment and destroy that before the Taliban, Chinese, Iranians and Russians get it.
